5. FP7 WP2011-12 a) ICT solutions for governance and policy modelling Societal simulations to forecast potential impacts of policies  Including non-classical economic and societal modelling;  monitoring societal trends resulting from economic environment;  building on previous research in the domain of reflexivity; ICT tools enabling modelling the next generation of public services as complex service systems;  analyse and model complex systems;  taking into account the needs of the younger generation;

6.  advance research in simulation and visualisation techniques, process modelling, gaming-based simulation, mixed reality technologies and crowd- sourcing techniques;  build on Web2.0/Web3.0, social networking, dynamics methodology and exploiting the vast reserves of public sector collective data.
